A quick chapter leading up to Homecoming. This and the next chapter are loosely based on the Homecoming episode. I will use some of the storyline from the TV show but that will be primarily the Annie Hobbs story since I don't really know where to go with that. Ethan, Emma and Sutton will be mostly my storyline.


"Sutton, come on get ready. We're leaving soon!" I ignore Char since I know she's lying. She just wants to make sure everyone has ample time to see me and vote for me for Queen. I didn't really want to run, but Char made it sound like something Sutton would love.

"Emma?" I turn around. Ethan is sneaking through the glass door. I'm only in a bathroom robe.

"Ethan, what are you doing here?" We had no plans since he knew I was getting ready for homecoming.

"I just came to see if Sutton had called?" Why couldn't he have called to ask? Being this close wearing this little was hard.

"You came all this way to ask that?" Sutton's laptop chimes and I see a video request. How could Sutton be all the way in LA and know that Ethan and I were this close?

"Em we need to talk about Annie."

"What about her?"

"I think she's in Arizona. I'm coming back soon. I just have a few loose ends to tie up here and then I'll call you to tell you. Ethan, what are you doing there?"

"I just wanted to make sure Emma looked like you would look." Even I didn't believe that excuse. "I should get going." I wanted him to stay. More than anything I wanted him to go with me to Homecoming. But no he made it very clear that Sutton would never allow it.

"Wait Ethan, could I talk to you when you get home?" What did she want to say to him that she couldn't say in front of me?

"Sure Sutton. I'll call you soon." I end the conversation and turn to face Ethan.

"Is she mad?"

"She has no right to be mad. She made the switch not you." He was on my side. He thought I was right. I want to hug him, but I can't.

"You should get going. She's waiting." He nods and slips out the door. I slip my dress on and get to work on my hair.

Sutton's POV:

"Ethan she's taking over my life. Homecoming was what I wanted. I deserve to be crowned not her."

"You will be crowned."

"No Emma is. She's taking over my life one yearbook picture at a time. She's wrecking everything." What was wrong with Ethan? He didn't understand. It was almost like he liked Emma more than me. I am his girlfriend and Emma is my twin sister.

"Sutton you made her switch with you and she's trying her best."

"She's wrecking my life. I asked so little and she can't deliver. I'm coming home soon and I will be able to correct this whole mess. I can't wait to see you." Ethan isn't paying attention." "What are you staring at?" He turns his attention back to me.

"Sorry I just saw Dan's suit out and I was wondering why he had it out." Was he planning something?

"Ethan I love you."

"Sutton it's complicated here. Emma is trying really hard and you are clearly jealous she's living your life better than you. I have to go." Ethan ends the conversation and leaves me hanging. He sided with Emma. Well two can play that game.
